Hey gang, there's over 20 runs to go over today so let's waste no time getting to them ;)
First, I want to go over a few slightly older runs that got submitted cause they are super impressive.
d_tea submitted two runs that are actually fairly recent. He got a 2:26.034 No Teleporter Any%, and a 4:10.779 No Teleporter Hell%. The Hell run in particular has a sick pace into the temple. He said he plans to go for a run of this under 4 minutes in the future, so that will be super exciting!
The other guy who submitted an older run is SchnitzelDX! He had a nice 2:38 No Teleporter Any% that he added. Schnitzel's ranking went up significantly now that he can use a 3rd score run for points, and I have to personally say it was a well-deserved boost for him. He was hitting a lot of runs like Low% Hell and sub 3 Low% long before most of us. He has a lot of untapped potential for sure. It is nice to know he still follows the community.
Now, onto the runs done over the last few days.
bootsthatshoot got a Max Any% PB, a 4:28. We'll see a run at the very least near the 3 minute mark from him once a teleporter seed cooperates.
falafel_raptor managed a small Low% PB. It was only a PB by a couple seconds, but was an impressive run nonetheless. He got a 3:20.
We have a new face on Mossranking: Dr. Probably. He does dailies, and so far has a $737k daily high score which he got on the August 18th Daily. Nice job and nice to have you, Dr.! 
saturnin55 had a crazy hour or so in his stream last night where he got two big PBs. He got a 4:59 Low% No Gold run, and a 3:03 Any% + No Teleporter Any%. These were enough to push him into the overall top 15, so way to go, sat! 
BisleyT has been hard at work on some All Shortcuts runs. So far, he's got a 42 minute key split with a 72 minute Olmec finish. Hope RTA is treating you well, Bis!
Speaking of RTA runs, ShinGraywords made a big improvement to his AJE time. He's nearing the 60 minute mark, and currently has a 65 minute run. Shin also got a big score on the August 22nd Daily. He hit a $1.5mil run! This was his 3d best daily, and brought his average up to $1.25mil. Great job, Shin! 
Another RTA run came in from meowmixmix. He got a run just under 1 minute slower than Shin's, a 66 minute run. Meow also got a 3:06 No Teleporter Any% run, a 3:25 Low% run, and (perhaps most impressive) a sub 3 Any% run! His Any% used a teleporter and came in at 2:52. He lost a run about 20 seconds faster into the temple a little bit before this, so he still has a ton of potential. The seeds are just so rare. A cool thing about this 2:52 of his was a queen bee telefrag.
Meow has also been working on score runs and has learned some tricky ghosting mechanics, so he will likely improve his PB there soon, as well. Looking good meow!
Next up, ix submitted a $1.5mil score run! ix is basically at the point where he can attempt some hired hand shenanigans to get the plasma cannon into the City of Gold. It will be nice to see if he goes for this strategy to get the City of Gold monies :D. ix also has been working on his daily average, and got a 1.3m daily on the August 24th Daily. This is his 5th best daily, and brought his daily average up to $1.28mil. Nice!
Mazerak made an appearance to submit a 9:11 Hell run, which was also the fastest basejump run someone has done. Way to go, Mazerak!
Patdog56 is back! It seemed like forever that Pat's computer was out of commission, but Pat returned this week. He returned in style, too. He got a 6:52 Max Low% run, his first one done. This is very fast for someone's first completion of the run, as well. He also submitted a 3:22 Low% run. Pat actually finished a Low% run in the past that was over 10 seconds faster, but he was unable to record. I'm sure he will get something better than the unrecorded run sometime soon, though. Glad you can play again, Pat! 
Next, we saw CamoNinjazz getting an 8:55 No Gold run. Nearing that speedlunky no gold run, Camo! Solid run.
The Mad Murf finished a 1:43 Tutorial% run. This run is sure getting a lot of attention, nice!
hbix finished an important run this week, a 27 minute No Gold Hell run. This was his first completed hell run without taking gold, so a speedrun is not expected. Great run, hbix! hbix is now only missing Max Low% and Low% Hell from the challenge runs for points pool. He gained a great deal of points by completing several of these challenge runs over the last couple weeks. 
Last but not least, Khold submitted a 4:19 Any% run. Getting fast now, Khold!
Take care gang,
- Kinni
